With the Dallas Cowboys officially in the offseason earlier than anticipated once again, speculation continues to abound as to what Jerry Jones and company will be during in the next few months.
And according to one rather stunning report, the Cowboys could actually decide to move on from popular running back Ezekiel Elliott. As you know, Tony Pollard is now the lead RB in town, while Elliott racked up a career low 876 yards on 3.8 yards per carry this past season along with 12 touchdowns in 15 games played.
But is his time with the Cowboys coming to an end? There is reportedly an "ultimatum" in the works in which the Cowboys will allegedly be requiring him to take a sizable pay cut if he has any intention on playing with the only NFL team he's ever suited up for moving forward.
The Cowboys are currently approximately $7 million over the 2023 NFL salary cap. Meanwhile, Elliott is in the midst of the six-year extension in 2019 worth $90 million at an average of $15 million per year.
